List of Ingredients

2 C. distilled water, divided
Essential oil/fragrance of your choice.
2 tbsp salt
4 envelopes Knox gelatine
Food coloring (optional)




Recipe

Heat 1 cup of water almost to a boil. Add the gelatine and salt, and stir until dissolved. Remove
from heat and add remaining cup of distilled water, 10 to 20 drops of oil/fragrance and
food coloring if desired.

You can replace food coloring and oil/fragrance with premade liquid potpourri (available at most craft stores, candle shops, etc.). Just make sure it's the concentrated kind or it won't retain its smell. The procedure would be the same. Heat 1 cup of the liquid potpourri, almost to a boil. Stir in 4 envelopes Knox gelatine until dissolved. Then stir in 1 cup cool liquid potpourri.Pour the mixture into clean baby food jars or other containers and set at room temperature overnight until "set." You can also save store-bought containers which contained fragrance gel and use those.
